Do not know if this was discussed. In the last episode, Spock has problems coping with time as a fluid. In"City" he has no problem with the concept. Could this be due to his traumatic experience?
DSC to TOS and time

I don't think it's the same thing. Discovery Spock's brain itself was messed up because of the mind meld. It wasn't wired to process the information. That's different that acknowledging that there can be time travel to different epochs, and thus different timelines.
Oh dear God, no.
Spock had problems due to the mind meld with the Red Angel not the information exchanged? He certainly mindmelded before that encounter.
It's one thing to understand the concept on a theoretical level. It's quite something else to personally experience it that way in your head.
Kor
The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible.
Maybe that is why they were conquered.
... as well as "Spock's Brain".The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible.
That’s not what I heard.
One was an abstract concept. The other were memories implanted in his brain due to a(nother) terrible choice to mind meld with something.
Yeah, Spock never seems to get the concept of just 'taste testing" a thing.
He's always a "kegger" kind of guy.
I can clearly hear the sarcasm in his voice. Spock is clearly implying that the VSD is full of shitThe Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible.
Vulcan science is way more advanced than ours. They can even prove negatives.The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible.
Still uncertain that the information did not destabilize him, not the act of mind melding.
The combination of both seems likely to me.
Aye, laddie.

Which is to say, where I found it.
You wouldn't have to prove a negative, you just prove the positive that time always progresses in one direction. We can prove that it is impossible to build a perpetual motion machine, by proving conservation of energy to be true. "You can't prove a negative" is a vastly overstated phrase which really only means "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" which isn't even really 100% true either.
This - on a smaller scale, I can intellectually appreciate through "the power of math" that time is relative, but that's quite different from actually perceiving time that way.
Speaking of time... anyone else notice Alex Kurtzman is running a show about a guardian angel altering the timeline repeatedly to prevent apocalypse 10 years after he and Orci were telling everyone that time travels branched off alternate realities instead of changing the current one?
I'm wondering if this can be an "out" like the Temporal Cold War was in ENT, to explain all the continuity issues of the show as it being a different reality. Perhaps in the virgin timeline, Michael died on Vulcan as a child and thus wasn't in TOS... etc etc...
